About the 2005 American Silver Eagle:
The year 2005 was a turning point for the American Silver Eagle. As the price of silver rose in the coming years, the U.S. Mint responded by sharply increasing production. 2005 marks the last year of the more moderate production levels.

The design on the obverse face of the 2005 Silver Eagle is the classic "Walking Liberty" image by Adolph Weinman. Liberty is depicted striding boldly toward a new day, with laurel and oak branches in her left hand. On the reverse side of the 2005 Silver Eagle is John Mercanti's engraving of an American eagle holding an olive branch and sheaf of arrows in its talons. The image was inspired by the famous Great Seal of the United States.

The 2005 Proof Silver Eagle was struck with a cameo finish at the San Francisco mint. Striking the blank multiple times, with a die that has been partially sandblasted for texture, results in a slightly frosted image with clear details that seem to float over a mirror-like polished field.
